what happens to the wax in candles after you burn them?

Answer 1

It melts down. There is a certain amount of it that will never disappear. There is some moisture content in the wax that simply evaporates. Other components turn to gas and dissipate into the air. But you will always have that little puddle of wax left.

Answer 2

it burns like anything else, paraffin wax turns into water and smoke, which is just carbon which goes in the air, and sticks to ionized objects in the home, or gets trapped i your central heater filter.

you can see this by taking a piece of tempered glass and holding it over the flame you will see the carbon and water build up on it,
it builds up faster because you are limiting the air supply so the less burned wax impurities are escaping the flame sooner.

Answer 3

Wax is hydrocarbon. Same as gasoline. In perfect combustion, it combines with oxygen to make water vapor and carbon dioxide, two harmless gases. In imperfect combustion, such as if there isn't enough oxygen, then they also make carbon monoxide, a dangerous flammable poison gas.

Answer 4

It disapates into the air.

Answer 5

You throw them out.

Answer 6

it goes to a better place
